<h2>Overview</h2>
<p><!--date-->[2007/12]</p>
<p>
Satellite imagery was obtained from the <a href='http://seamless.usgs.gov'>USGS</a> as GeoTIFF files.
These files were converted into a .osga file
using scripts in tools/terrain that use <a href='http://www.gdal.org'>gdal</a> software.
</p>
<p>
The satellite imagery forms a large part of the scene graph.
Terrain is represented as a Graph object and passed to
the Object ctor and then to World::AttachObject(),
as would be done for any Object.
